Quarterback Passes Twice

authored by Heath Howard

1st and 3 on A's 17. A-1 receives the snap and throws a legal forward pass. The ball is released but blocked by B-2. A-1 catches the batted ball and throws another forward pass from A's 14. How do you enforce this?

2nd and 11 on A's 9. A-1 has thrown an illegal forward pass for throwing the second forward passes during the down. Although penalties by Team A from behind the line of scrimmage are enforced from the previous spot normally, Illegal Forward Pass is one of the exceptions to this rule (Rule 7-7-2).
